John Girardeau

John Lafayette Girardeau (14 November 1825 – 23 June 1898) was a Reformed theologian and minister in the Presbyterian Church in the United States.[1] He is notable as a Calvinist defender of libertarianism, the teaching that Adam, as the representative man, could have chosen between alternatives, and that he could have chosen differently in the pre-fall state, rather than a determinist or compatibilist view.[2]

He was a professor of systematic theology at Columbia Theological Seminary in South Carolina.[3]
